Application led February 8, 1922. Serial No. 534,853.

To aZZVwwm it may concern: l

- Be it known thatl, DANIEL Kors, a citizen of the United States, lresiding in the borough of Manhattan, city, county, and

State of New York, have invented an lmprovement in Apparel Corsets, of which the following is a specification.`

. This invention relates to an apparel corset kand more yparticularly -to that type of garment known as Nemo Marvelace corset, in which there are devices for adjusting the garment to position on the body of thewearer. Furthermore, the present inventionl relates to that type of garment as shown and described in my copending application, Serial No. 512,990,1filed November 5, 1921, and is another form of the same.

The tendency in accordance with pre- ,vailing fashion is tovproduce the appearance of an uncorseted or` naturaliignre and in this type of garment the structure is such as to produce this'result and at the same time provide means for adjustment and necessary support where the same is required for the abdominal portions of the body of the wearer. ln carrying out the present invention, therefore, the garment which is preferably a closed `back 4corset is con-l structedwith the front members made of similar parts each comprising Va front steel section, a section of yielding fabric or other material between the front steel section and the adjacent vportion of the body of the garment, the yielding section also extending from the upper to the lower edge of the garment, together with adjusting tension and supporting devices extending from approximately the waistline to approximately the groin line of the wearer and so embodied in the garment as to be readily adjusted to position. In this type of garment the support of the abdomen of the wearer is effected without the use of the usualsupporting straps or iiaps and the upper portion of the garment is free yto permit the `body to assume its natural position at the v-With thoseportions ofthe body below the i other.

groin section which are covered by the garment, as will be hereinafter more particularly described.

rFig. 1 is a perspective view illustrating the corset made in accordance with my present invention, and

Fig. `2 is an elevation on an enlarged scale showingr the front inner portion of the garment. l

The garment made to include the present invention isk preferably one in which the adjusting' devices are' entirely in the front sections of the corset and the back of the garment is closed, although as will be understood the improvement to which the present invention relates may in some instances be applied to a corset made in the customary halves- In the present instance the front portions of the garment are similarly constructed and for this reason but one of these will be specifically described. Referring to the drawing in the front of the corset` l employ the customaryfront steel sections indicatedl at 10 and 11. These are provided with the necessary connecting clasps including a series of studs 12 attached to one steel and a corresponding series of sockets 13 attached to the other steel. Each front steel f section is also preferably provided with a downward extension. That of the front steel section 10 is indicated at 14, while that of the front steel section 11 is indicated at 15. These extensions 14 and 15 may be provided with rows of eyelets 15 and 17 respectively through which laces 18 are passed for connecting and adjusting the lower front portions of the garment tc one an- Also as indicated these extensions.
